Damnit...I knew a reference like this was gonna come up.

100 Neediest Cases: Every year around this time, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (St. Louis's daily newspaper) and the United Way team up to help some of the city's less fortunate.

When I read some of them, I wonder, "Well, what the fuck were you doing to get in that situation?" But you only get a small glimpse into the situations, so it's unfair to pass judgement on them.

The Christmas lights are up on Front Street in Nome.

This is strangely fascinating.

elSicomoro · 12-03-2002, 10:17 PM

Holy shit...I first brought up the Nomecam in a thread on this day a year ago. Scary.

I found the Nomecam almost 2 years ago...and I usually visit it several times a month. Yes, it is strangely fascinating. I guess b/c it's a window on this little town in the absolute middle of nowhere. I keep meaning to check it when the sun rises out there (which is at 3:31pm EST tomorrow, or 11:31am Alaska time), just to see if I can catch the northern lights.

Moontaxi: A site with various music channels...no commercials, good quality. One of my personal favorite channels is the old school hip-hop one...I heard some shit I haven't heard in almost 10 years.

Windows Media Player only, unfortunately.

elSicomoro · 12-20-2002, 10:14 PM

Is it only for media player? I didn't notice that. It's good for me at work though, b/c that's all I have on my 'puter. I could probably download realplayer, but I don't need anyone busting my chops.

Ledo Pizza: Maryland-based pizza chain, with locations primarily in the DC metro area. (The closest location to Philadelphia is Lancaster, although they seem to be expanding into other areas like mad.) Absolutely incredible pizza; great pasta and sandwiches, too. They are currently offering several cheesesteaks, of which I am suspicious. The South Philly Cheesesteak DOES look incredibly South Philadelphian though (I did not try it as I was feening for the pizza). And they have this other offering that I can best describe as a Primanti's-style sandwich-salad. (I can see folks in Pittsburgh screaming in sheer terror upon reading this.)

Their franchising system looks like a good deal too...uh-oh, I see another Career Option thread coming.

The North Korean Government's Website: I pulled this from the BBC. What a trip...seeing is believing.

Undertoad · 01-04-2003, 11:28 AM

OMG OMG. What a find Syc!

The official NK seal includes a huge illustration of hydroelectric power generation! I did not know that! Is the irony too thick and rich yet?

That website can get you to a Cafepress shop for the Korean Friendship Association, where you can buy a "DPRK Socialist Achievement Mousepad" for $12.99. Yes, friends, like every other half-baked idea, the DPRK only generates a profit through its Cafepress section.

And Jag, please note that the I did not use that silly word 'Socialist'. The Koreans were the ones to use it. They must be confused. Direct your corrections to them, thanks.

elSicomoro · 01-04-2003, 11:37 AM

I couldn't believe that North Korea actually had a website...I suspect that many North Koreans have never even heard of a computer, much less the internet. When I saw that link on the BBC site, it was too good to pass up. Now, I'm just waiting for the FBI to show up at my doorstep.

It is an interesting read though. As slanted as it may be, as I've said before, it never hurts to have multiple perspectives of something.

Psychic Man

Because.

elSicomoro · 01-26-2003, 10:16 PM

Kutz, I saw your site...cool stuff, though it would probably be better if I were on a better computer.

Zio Interactive: A Korean company that makes some of the games for my phone. I highly recommend you check out the site, and select the English version...it's not quite Engrish, but the way they use English is kinda funny.
